 Relation to present lesson

CCP503.60 4
Paintpicture() method
Definition:
Paintpicture() is a method of forms & printer objects to
send the contents of PictureBox to printer and other
forms.

Syntax:
Destination.Paintpicture Source, x, y, picture,
dest.height, dest.width

CCP503.60 5
Explanation:

 Destination may be a form or printer


 Printer is also treated as an object
 Source is the picture to be printed or drawn
 X, Y are the coordinates on the destination
object from where the picture should appear
 Dest.height and dest.width indicate the sizes of
the picture in terms of the size of the destination
objects, be it form or printer

CCP503.60 6
Use of Paintpicture method

Explanation:
 Create Two forms named ‘Form1’ and ‘Form2’
 Paste a Picture control on Form1 and load a
picture on it
 Write the following code for form click events as

follows:
Form1
Form1_click
Form2.show
End Sub
CCP503.60 7
 Form2:
Form2_Click
Form2.Paintpicture Form1.Picture1,0,0,
Form2.width/2,Form2.height/2
End Sub

NOTE: When Form1(Source) is clicked, Form2


appears. When Form2 is clicked, the picture of
Picture control in Form1 appears on Form2
with half of the height and width of the form2
(Destination) from 0,0 position of Form2
CCP503.60 8
Differences between Picture
control and Image control
Picture Control Image Control
Suitable for advanced computers Suitable for old computers with
with latest operating system old Operating system
Supports Graphics methods like Does not support graphic
Pset, line and circle methods
Autosize property controls its size Stretch property controls its size
Supports a large number of Has a few properties and is not
properties and so is flexible in its flexible
usage
Acts as a container on which we Does not act as a container
can place other controls
Allows to draw graphics on it Does not allowto draw graphics
on it.
